FAQs
Who is the HOKA Clifton 10 best suited for?
The HOKA Clifton 10 is ideal for adult female runners seeking maximum cushioning and support for daily mileage, long runs, and recovery runs. It's particularly good for those who want a soft, protective feel underfoot.
What is the main difference in the Clifton 10 compared to previous versions?
The Clifton 10 features an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop for a revitalized underfoot experience and an updated breathable jacquard upper with an improved double-lace lock system to prevent tongue migration.
Can I wear these shoes for speedwork or racing?
While the Clifton 10 is a fantastic trainer, its primary strength is cushioning and comfort for daily miles. For faster workouts or races, you might consider a lighter, more responsive shoe. However, some runners may find them suitable for tempo runs.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Ensure there is a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The midfoot should feel snug but not constricting, and the heel should not slip.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the HOKA Clifton 10 features a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light rain.
What is the typical lifespan of the HOKA Clifton 10?
The lifespan varies depending on mileage, running surface, and individual biomechanics, but typically, running shoes like the Clifton 10 are recommended to be replaced between 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers).
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired.
Troubleshooting
Tongue slips during runs.
Utilize the double-lace lock system to secure the tongue in place. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tight to restrict circulation.
Discomfort from the increased heel drop.
If you are new to a higher heel drop, gradually increase your mileage in the shoes to allow your body to adapt. Consider shorter runs initially.
Shoes feel too warm.
The jacquard upper is designed for breathability. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. For extreme heat, consider running during cooler parts of the day.
Reduced cushioning over time.
While designed for durability, cushioning naturally degrades. Monitor the feel of the shoes; if impact protection feels diminished, it may be time for a replacement, typically after 300-500 miles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Clifton 10 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you try them on with your preferred running socks to check for initial fit and comfort.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most standard running insoles if you require custom orthotics. The double-lace lock system allows for a personalized fit.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and structure.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably not in direct sunlight, to preserve their materials and color.
- Rotation: For best results and longevity, consider rotating your Clifton 10s with another pair of running shoes, allowing each pair to fully dry and recover between uses.
